David (Omegacrux) wanted to see what his SW80ED (Gold Tube) might be capable of so we attached my eos600D and took some moon shots and a few Saturns.
A couple of the Luna ones are attached but the Saturn ones didn't impress enough pixels to make the grade.
I can see where an electronic focuser is a nice thing after trying to manually focus on his Sky Watcher Alt-Az. A nice mount but even using the dual speed focuser was a vibrational affair.
Still it's a start.

Here they are David....

They look better on the camera
Still they look good

Could crop them a bit, otherwise good images from the ED80.

Kevin they have been cropped 2to about 2300px from 5800
I just like a bit of black around the subject.
